The Black Cat - Story Poses Part 3

Those are the poses I have made for the second part of chapter 4 of my story. They are not always 'fully' worked as some were not intended for full
body shot (and most of the legs is hidden under the kotatsu), however they might be of some use to other people, and this is the third
one so far.

They are using the chopsticks and tea cups I have made. Also Severinka's kotatsu table and pillows.

-Depending on the clothes used you might have some troubles with the
legs, but those poses are all meant to be used with the kotatsu table. I tried to work on the hands even if they are resting on the legs, but they are supposed to be under the table as well-

Pose #18 - Serving tea
You have to use a Tipsy OMSP 15° (change the direction of the tea pot until it goes in the correct direction) at approximately 61cm. I used ATS3 Breakfast Berthoud teapot

Poses #19 - Sitting with eyes closed

Pose #20 - Reaching on the table

Pose #21 - Holding tea cup
You need to place the full (or empty) cup on an OMSP at approximately 56cm.

Pose #22 - Drinking tea

You need to place the tilted cup on an OMSP at approximately 1m and 3cm.

Pose #23 - Bowing sitting on the floor
I have not used this pose in my story, but I liked it so it's here.

Pose #24 - Holding chopsticks

Pose #25 - Holding chopsticks up

Pose #26 - Eating with the chopsticks
*Edit* I forgot to say: I miss clicked on the animation at bottom and it ends up that when you ask your sim to pose... well it kinda plays something in between 25 to 26. I couldn't get it to keep only the single frame I was working on, so you just need to wait a few seconds and the sim will pose. Sorry about that!

Pose #27 - Reaching food with chopsticks
And I realize I don't seem to have used this one in the chapter. Oh well, here it is:

How to install

Most of the time when possible I give you the possibility to install as either Sims3Pack or Package.Pick up a format you rather use (poses can only be installed as Packages), and install it in your game:

If you use EA Launcher:

Sims3PacksPlace the .sims3pack file in your folder My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/DownloadsRun the Launcher, click the Download panel on the left and select the files you want to install before pressing the Install button.Note: You do not need to keep the file in this folder, it can be removed safely once installed and the Launcher/game is closed.

PackagesPlace the .package file in your folder My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Mods/PackagesIf you do not have or do not know how to set up the Mods folder, I wrote a tutorial here.Note: If you have too many files in this folder you should consider merging them or it will make your game load and render slower. Aikea Guinea wrote a tutorial about it, see here.

If you use CC Magic:

This launcher manages both types, so you can place any .sims3pack and .package files you want inMy Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Downloads For those who don't know about it, you can find the installation here and a tutorial there.
